If your DC really love money, go with AI.  They paid a ton, even without the Master's degree.  To be honest, i[b]t's a waste of time to do a Master's degree full time.  She can do a part-time master at schools like Stanford while she is working at FANNG[/b].

[b]If she truly loves both tech and medicine, and truly loves research, go with a MD/PhD.[/b]  The AI medicine research is hot hot hot, plenty of opportunities allowing a combination of two.  I believe MD/PhD usually comes with scholarship so that tuition for medical school + graduate school is waived in full (or equivalents thereof).  Financial return will come a bit later in life, but she won't regret it.[/quote]

Thanks for the advice. Just to clarify — the concurrent Master’s program would mean she completes her 4-year undergrad with both a BA and a Master’s degree in Computer Science, with a focus on AI. So the real choice she’s facing is:

[b]Finish with a BA + Master’s in CS (AI concentration)[/b]
or
[b]Finish with a BA in CS + complete the Pre-Med requirements[/b][/quote] The latter, so she doesn't need to do a postbacc if she chooses medicine later on. Not much benefit to a combined master's in CS - she has the job offer in either case, after all.[/quote]

My best guess is that she should finish with BA?MA (AI concentration).

But, for the correct response, why not ask AI ?[/quote]
